Are you kidding, PURPLEmoon???
Go for it! Just ONE place setting & you can do such a lovely vignette...which you are so-o-o-o creative doing!!!
These have your name on them! PURPLE! PURPLE! Quit "moon"-ing & bid! LOL! Jeanne S....now a new member of the ECK ..."Enabler Club Kween!"

They are BEAUTIFUL!
I'll pass you strength to buy em but can't share any money because if I find them, I'll have to buy some to. LOL
(How's that for encourage/discourage ~ment~?)
Keep drooling and just purchase , you know you want to. hehe

Even I am tempted by those altho I avoid eBay like the plague! Those are a really nice color, *Purple*moon! I'd buy them in a heartbeat if I saw them in a YS.

Please post a pic when they arrive! ;-D LOLOL

Ooops, I forgot for a moment that this place is Enablers R Us!
Well the auction doesn't close for several days. She did put a Buy It Now on each set, but that's another $5 over the starting bid price. Do I want to add that on top of the other tho? What's the chances someone will come along and want ALL 12 sets? I don't think Kathleen does eBay. LOL.
LG, if I buy these and you see some at a yard sale, don't tell me. Accckkkk.
I do have some (dog) stuff on eBay I'm selling, so guess I could think of it as a "trade". LOL. I think I just got a whiff of how our Dishnuts rationalize their purchases!

hugs, Karen

Karen, I don't think it matters how you get and set but you need one!!! They are absolutely beautiful. I think they would look great with my violet dishes mixed in. Oh no, look what you've done.LOL

What's $5 more now days? Might have to go getcha some, I'm thinking. If you need to think trade to do it, that will work. You Go Girl and let us know.

One set will make you a beautiful purple vignette, I can just see it with lilacs in a vase!!! Oh yeah!!

Life is too short to say "we don't need it"!!!! LOL

Well, IMHO one just won't do, not if she has 12. That would leave someone else with a uneven set, so go for it, 2,4,6,8 we know you'll appreciate it.
Syble

Karen : Have you bought 'em yet?
You know you want to. LOL

Oh gosh, Karen, those are gorgeous! You ARE ALL enablers here! First Syble's gorgeous green glassware and now these drop-dead beautiful purple ones! Let us know is you succumb, OK?
Lynn ;~D

Ok, so now there are ELEVEN sets left. I gritted teeth and spent the money. (sorry Frou, I couldn't justify a second set no matter what.)
But just in case one of you needs some purple dishes,
here's the link for a set. Combined shipping too, so you wouldn't have to pay for each set. I know I'm the only crazy to buy ONE set. LOL. You just click on see sellers other items for more. (I REALLY need to get a few of you hooked on eBay too. LOL)

Thanks for all your 'help' spending the money.
hugs, Karen

Here is a link that might be useful: purple dishes

Karen, so happy you have 1 set and keep watching you may have more by the end auction.LOL

So glad you finally caved in Karen. hehe
Can't wait to see what you do with them! :)

I'm glad to read that you bought a set for yourself, but now you need to tell your DH about them. ;^) They're very pretty!

I recently inherited a purple glass "luncheon" set for 4. At least that's what I think it is. I need to create a reason to use it.

Well, I want it, but I wanted 12 and now there is just 11..no good, LOL!
They are really pretty! But I couldn't spend that much..with the shipping..nope...
But they sure are pretty!

Good for you Ms. Karen!!! Sometimes you just need to do something for YOU!!
Hugs to you,
J

We all need that "splurge" once-in-a-while! I can see a GORGEOUS vignette coming soon! The place setting is AWESOME! Way to go, woman! Jeanne S.

Karen,
Those dishes were made for YOU!! You need those. And I am glad you got them. They are really gorgeous. Do show us what you do with them.

So glad you got them, Karen - have you done a vignette yet? Even I, who never eBay, was tempted! LOL Those are awesome dishes.
